- update to 9.56.1:
Highlights in this release include
(excerpts from the Ghostscript upstream release summary
in https://ghostscript.com/docs/9.56.1/News.htm):
* New PDF Interpreter: This is an entirely new implementation
written in C (rather than PostScript, as before)
* Calling Ghostscript via the GS API is now thread safe. The one
limitation is that the X11 devices for Unix-like systems (x11,
x11alpha, x11cmyk, x11cmyk2, x11cmyk4, x11cmyk8, x11gray2,
x11gray4 and x11mono) cannot be made thread safe, due to their
interaction with the X11 server, those devices have been
modified to only allow one instance in an executable.
* The PSD output device now writes ICC profiles to their output
files, for improved color fidelity.
* Our efforts in code hygiene and maintainability continue.
* The usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes, and
incremental improvements.
* We have added the capability to build with the Tesseract OCR
engine. In such a build, new devices are available
(pdfocr8/pdfocr24/pdfocr32) which render the output file to an
image, OCR that image, and output the image "wrapped" up as a
PDF file, with the OCR generated text information included
as "invisible" text (in PDF terms, text rendering mode 3).
Mainly due to time constraints, we only support including
Tesseract from source included in our release packages,
and not linking to Tesseract/Leptonica shared libraries.
Whether we add this capability will be largely dependent
on community demand for the feature. See Enabling OCR
at https://www.ghostscript.com/ocr.html for more details.
For a release summary see:
https://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.54.0/News.htm
For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files.
- Configure --without-tesseract because this requires C++ (it
might be added if Tesseract support in Ghostscript is needed).
- Drop CVE-2021-3781.patch, CVE-2021-45949.patch: upstream

- Version upgrade to 9.54.0
Highlights in this release include
(excerpts from the Ghostscript upstream release summary
in https://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.54.0/News.htm):
* The 9.54.0 release is a maintenance release,
and also adds new functionality.
* Overprint simulation is now available to all output devices,
allowing quality previewing/proofing of PostScript and
PDF jobs that rely on overprint. See the -dOverprint option
documentation in: doc/9.54.0/Use.htm#Overprint
* The "docxwrite" device adds the ability to output
to Microsoft Word "docx" format.
See: doc/9.54.0/VectorDevices.htm#DOCX
* The pdfwrite device is now capable of using the Tesseract OCR
engine when it is built into Ghostscript to improve
searchability and copy and paste functionality when the input
lacks the metadata for that purpose.
See: doc/9.54.0/VectorDevices.htm#UseOCR
* Ghostscript/GhostPDL now includes a "map text to black"
function, where text drawn by an input job (except when drawn
using a Type 3 font) can be forced to draw in solid black.
See: doc/9.54.0/Use.htm#BlackText
* Ghostscript/GhostPDL now supports simple N-up imposition
"internally". See: doc/9.54.0/Use.htm#NupControl
* Our efforts in code hygiene and maintainability continue.
* The usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes,
and incremental improvements.

* Tue Oct 20 2020 jsmeix@suse.de
- Version upgrade to 9.53.3
Highlights in this release include
(excerpts from the Ghostscript upstream release summary
in https://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.53.3/News.htm):
* The 9.53.3 release is primarily maintenance.
* Issues arose with 9.53.0/1/2 that prompted the release
of a .3 patch:
A crash related to management of ICC profile objects.
A parameter type mismatch that would cause Ghostscript
to error out during initialisation, which
affected 64 big, big endian architectures.
An unexpected side effect of another change that prevented
multithreaded rendering and background rendering
from working correctly.
* The most obvious change is the (re-)introduction of the
patch level to the version number, this helps facilitate
a revised policy on handling security related issues.
To clarify: in the event we decide to release a patch revision,
it will replace the release with the previous patch number.
Release notes, highlights and warnings will remain the same,
except for the addition of whatever fix(es) prompted the patch.
* Our efforts in code hygiene and maintainability continue.
* We have added Python bindings for the gsapi interface, can be
found in demos/python. These are experimental, and we welcome
feedback from interested developers.
* For those integrating Ghostscript/GhostPDL via the gsapi
interface, we have added new capabilities to that, specifically
in terms of setting and interrogating device parameters. These,
along with the existing interface calls, are documented in:
Ghostscript Interpreter API at
https://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.53.3/API.htm
* The usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes,
and incremental improvements.
* For a list of open issues, or to report problems, please visit
bugs.ghostscript.com
Incompatible changes:
* As of 9.53.0, we have (re-)introduced the patch level to the
version number, this helps facilitate a revised policy
on handling security related issues.
Note for GSView Users: The patch level addition breaks
GSView 5 (it is hardcoded to check for versions 704-999).
It is possible, but not guaranteed that a GSView update might
be forthcoming to resolve this.
For a release summary see:
https://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.53.3/News.htm
For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files.
- CVE-2020-15900.patch is no longer needed
because it is fixed in the upstream sources.
- Ghostscript 9.53.3 fixes in particular txtwrite memory issues
(boo#1177922).
* Tue Jul 28 2020 jsmeix@suse.de
- CVE-2020-15900.patch fixes CVE-2020-15900 Memory Corruption
cf. https://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=702582
(bsc#1174415)
* Wed Apr 29 2020 jsmeix@suse.de
- The version upgrade to 9.52 fixes in particular
CVE-2020-12268: jbic2dec: heap-based buffer overflow
in jbig2_image_compose (bsc#1170603)
- Version upgrade to 9.52
Highlights in this release include:
* The 9.52 release replaces the 9.51 release after a problem
was reported with 9.51 which warranted the quick turnaround.
Thus, like 9.51, 9.52 is primarily a maintenance release,
consolidating the changes we introduced in 9.50.
* IMPORTANT: We have forked LittleCMS2 into LittleCMS2mt
(the "mt" indicating "multi-thread").
LCMS2 is not thread-safe, and cannot be made thread-safe
without breaking the ABI. Our fork will be thread-safe and
include performance enhancements (these changes have all
been offered and rejected upstream). We will maintain
compatibility between Ghostscript and LCMS2 for a time,
but not in perpetuity. If there is sufficient interest,
our fork will be available as its own package separately
from Ghostscript (and MuPDF).
* The usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes,
and incremental improvements.
Incompatible changes:
* New option -dALLOWPSTRANSPARENCY: The transparency compositor
(and related features), whilst we are improving it, remains
sensitive to being driven correctly, and incorrect use
can have unexpected/undefined results. Hence, as part of
improving security, we limited access to these operators,
originally using the -dSAFER feature. As we made "SAFER"
the default mode, that became unacceptable, hence the
new option -dALLOWPSTRANSPARENCY which enables access
to the operators, cf.
https://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.52/Use.htm#ALLOWPSTRANSPARENCY
For a release summary see:
https://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.52/News.htm
For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files.
- Version upgrade to 9.51
Highlights in this release include:
* 9.51 is primarily a maintainance release, consolidating
the changes we introduced in 9.50.
* We have continued our work on code hygiene for this release,
with a focus on the static analysis tool Coverity
(from Synopsys, Inc) and we are now maintaining a policy of
zero Coverity issues in the Ghostscript/GhostPDL source base.
* IMPORTANT: In consultation with a representative of
OpenPrinting (http://www.openprinting.org/) it is our
intention to deprecate and, in the not distant future,
remove the OpenPrinting Vector/Raster Printer Drivers
(that is, the opvp and oprp devices).
If you rely on either of these devices, please get in touch
with us (i.e. Ghostscript upstream), so we can discuss your
use case, and revise our plans accordingly.
* We (i.e. Ghostscript upstream) are in the process of forking
LittleCMS, cf. the other release notes entries below.
* The usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes,
and incremental improvements.
For a release summary see:
https://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.51/News.htm
For details see the News.htm and History9.htm files.
- Version upgrade to 9.50
Highlights in this release include:
* The change to version 9.50 follows recognition
of the extent and importance of the file access control
redesign/reimplementation outlined below.
* The file access control capability (enable with -dSAFER)
has been completely rewritten, with a ground-up rethink
of the design. For more details, see: "SAFER" at
https://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.50/Use.htm#Safer
* It is important to note that -dSAFER now only enables the
file access controls, and no longer applies restrictions
to standard Postscript functionality (specifically,
restrictions on setpagedevice). If your application relies
on these Postscript restrictions, see "OLDSAFER" at
https://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.50/Use.htm#OldSafer
and please get in touch, as we do plan to remove those
Postscript restrictions unless we have reason not to.
IMPORTANT: File access controls are now enabled by default.
In order to run Ghostscript without these controls,
see "NOSAFER" at
https://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.50/Use.htm#NoSafer
* We (i.e. Ghostscript upstream) are in the process of forking
LittleCMS, cf. the other release notes entries below.
* The usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes,
and incremental improvements.
Incompatible changes:
* There are a couple of subtle incompatibilities between the old
and new SAFER implementations. Firstly, as mentioned above,
SAFER now leaves standard Postcript functionality unchanged
(except for the file access limitations). Secondly, the
interaction with save/restore operations, see "SAFER" at
https://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.50/Use.htm#Safer
* The following is not strictly speaking new to 9.50,
as not much has changed since 9.27 in this area,
but for those who don't upgrade with every release:
The process of "tidying" the Postscript name space should have
removed only non-standard and undocumented operators.
Nevertheless, it is possible that any integrations or utilities
that rely on those non-standard and undocumented operators
may stop working, or may change behaviour.
If you encounter such a case, please contact us
(i.e. Ghostscript upstream, either the #ghostscript IRC channel
or the gs-devel mailing list would be best), and we'll work
with you to either find an alternative solution or return the
previous functionality, if there is genuinely no other option.
One case we know this has occurred is GSView 5 (and earlier).
GSView 5 support for PDF files relied upon internal use only
features which are no longer available. GSView 5 will still
work as previously for Postscript files. For PDF files,
users are encouraged to look at MuPDF https://www.mupdf.com/
